How to Prepare Sweet Potato Brownie Ice Cream Sandwiches [Vegan]
- Begin by chopping a sweet potato and bringing a pot of water to a boil.
- Boil the sweet potato until it is soft enough for a fork to pierce through it cleanly.
- Sift together the flour, salt, baking soda, maca powder, cocoa powder, and ground flax seed.
- In either the microwave or in a separate pot, warm up almond milk almost to a boil.
- Pour the hot almond milk over the 1/2 cup of chopped dark chocolate and add to this the coconut butter and coconut oil. Stir to combine.
- Blend up 1/4 cup of dates with 1 cup of water to create a date paste and stir this in with the vanilla, chocolate mixture, and the almond butter.
- Once the sweet potatoes are done boiling, purée them and mix with the rest of the wet ingredients.
- Mix together the wet and the dry ingredients until a wet batter is formed.
- Line a brownie pan with parchment paper or spray it well with oil and pre-heat your oven to 325°F.
- Bake the brownies for 20 minutes. They’ll look weird but we promise they’re done. Take them out.
- Allow them to cool fully and set in the refrigerator overnight to get extra fudgey and moist. Enjoy as is or cut in half and add your favorite ice cream to make a messy, gooey, summertime treat!
- To make the ice cream, whip the coconut cream until it is light and fluffy then combine with the other ingredients. Allow to set in the freezer overnight. Take out and allow to thaw 20 minutes before scooping with a warm scoop.
